The bug associated with using non-blocking socket handling with
TCPWare's UCX emulation has been traced by Bernie Votz of Process Software
to their TCPDRIVER.EXE, and has been fixed. The kit is on FTP.PROCESS.COM
and is called DRIVERS_V405B.INC (it is only valid for TCPware for OpenVMS
Version 4.0-5, which is the current version at the time of this announcement).
The fix will be included in the next TCPWare upgrade. If you have problems,
contact:
Bernie Volz
Process Software Corporation
VOLZ@PROCESS.COM
If you have an old version of TCPWare, and no current Process
Software support, modify [.WWW.Library.VMS]libmake.com to include NO_IOCTL in
the $ cc := cc/define=(...) list. You will not be able to interrupt stalled
connects (i.e., you'll have to wait for those to time out), but you still will
we able to interrupt long or stalled document transfers via the 'z' command.
To build for TCPWare, enter @BUILD TCPWARE or just @BUILD
and then answer the prompt with the appropriate number for that TCPIP
package.
